It's not my stuff.

What? Something in the painting?

That's home.

What?

You know when we sit at night, looking at the stars,

and you ask me where I'm from, and I point up to the sky and say there?

That's there.

[scoffs] Wait. That's impossible, Dad.

if your father hadn't run out on her before you were born.

You don't know about it.

Is this your son?

Coffee in a minute.

Yes. That's Scott.

If it Causes you so much pain to think of him,
